Ocyrhoë's Curse (Good Ending)

In Ovid's Metamorphoses, the daughter of Chiron, Ocyrhoë, found herself in a perilous situation. She had the gift of prophecy and she foretold a son of Apollo with the ability to heal and even raise mortals and spirits from the realm of Death. Later we know that she predicted the rise of the great healer Asclepius, who learned the ability from Chiron. Jove took to this rise of power from demigod who defies the natural order of life death, even Apollo himself dares not to defy his Father. Fearing the wrath of Jove, she sought a way to escape his anger. In her desperation, she turned to the Goddess Diana for help. With a heavy heart, Ocyrhoë humbly petitioned Diana, explaining her dire circumstances and her wish to avoid Jove's wrath. Diana, moved by Ocyrhoë's plea, saw the sincerity and genuine fear in her eyes. Recognizing Ocyrhoë's pure intentions and her desire for self-preservation, Diana decided to grant her request.

How is ADHD even real?

 Hello everyone!  This is Diana, your writer, and I have ADHD. It's like "yeah and?"– however, the point is not me today, but what I have. So, ADHD, short for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.

In Defense of Stimming: How the autistic mind actually pays attention

Hello everyone I've been in a slump and I wanted to get some good paying jobs for structure and of course for big moneys, as the kids say I am quite sure that in many cases especially when I get a face to face interview I have been denied the job and sometimes they end the interview early, simply because I am autistic, and I also have ADHD. This is more of an informal blog leaning heavily on my own personal life. I think stimming is part of it, and I wish I do not have to call that out but unfortunately it seems to be frowned upon in the professional world and I never get the chance to defend myself on that or have any true allies with sympathetic and open minds. For the record, stimming here means any self-regulation behaviors and actions one does, especially autistic and neurodivergent people. All I know is that it just helps me, even if I look weird doing it. Please be considerate and kind, and mind your own business. Let me act naturally.
